Clet Abraham
Bio
Clet Abraham is an Italian artist born in 1966. He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Rennes and now lives and works in Florence, Italy, where he has set up his artist's studio.
Clet hijacks road signs to create original works in vivid colors, always imbued with a certain humorous touch. His artistic work is based on a critique of cold signage, incorporating a more human dimension to signs symbolizing rules and order. It was in Florence that Clet Abraham put his first hijackings into practice, cutting out stickers before applying them to signs in the streets of the Italian city.
Today, his work can be seen on the streets of major European capitals such as Paris, Rome, London, Turin, Milan and Barcelona.
